Bozeman Actors Theatre presents a staged reading of David Lindsay-Abaire’s “Good People,” two nights only, Sunday and Monday, July 17th and 18th, 7:30pm at Verge Theatre, 2304 N. 7th Ave in Bozeman.
Winner of the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Play of the 2011 Season, “Good People” blends incisively drawn characters, humor, and deeply relatable issues of income inequality and racism. Set in blue collar “Southie” Boston, the play tells the story of Margie Walsh, a single mom living paycheck to paycheck, and her long-lost flame who worked his way out of the neighborhood. But was it hard work or good luck? Or both? With his signature humorous glow, Lindsay-Abaire explores the struggles, shifting loyalties and unshakeable hopes that come with having next to nothing in America. This is the third Lindsay-Abaire play performed by members of the company, including previous local productions of “Rabbit Hole” and “Kimberly Akimbo.”
Bozeman Actors Theatre has assembled a wonderful cast, including Ben Anderson, Rayna Cozzens, Kari Doll, Daniel Erickson, Dee Dee Van Zyl, and Cara Wilder.
There are no advanced tickets or reserved seating, with a $10 suggested donation at the door. Doors open at 7pm each night, with wine and desserts available. A short discussion of the play and talk back with members of the cast will be offered following each performance.
